Built by the Canadian Car & Foundry Company in 1943 where it served in Coastal Defence and Training as RCAF 5589. Restored by Autokraft in the 80's to become the 'Brooklands Hurricane', it came to Breighton in 1997. The 'Hurribox' flew at that time in the nocturnal colours of 87 Squadron but it was destroyed at Shoreham on 15th September 2007.

The Real Aeroplane Company airfield at Breighton is a strange little airfield, very friendly and full of classic aircraft as befitting the name of the company. This aircraft does not carry any external serial number except for the code of LK-A. Destroyed at Shoreham on 15th September 2007
